About Me

SEE MY QUALIFICATIONS

I’m a native English-speaking psychologist with a passion for working with individuals from diverse international backgrounds.

Born in Prague and raised primarily in Switzerland, I attended an international school for 15 years before going on to live and study in the UK and Netherlands, where I completed a Master of Arts (Hons) in Psychology & Master of Science (MSc) in Clinical Psychology respectively.

My primary clinical training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from the Beck Institute (USA). CBT is an evidence-based, structured and goal-oriented approach. CBT works to reduce symptoms of mental health conditions by challenging negative and unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs, while learning more adapted responses and behaviors. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) work where helpful.

Together, we will set goals and frequently review progress so that you can see and feel positive changes as soon as possible. Between sessions I will provide practical, targeted exercises and reflections designed to consolidate your learning and accelerate progress. Over time you will build a toolkit of skills and resources that you can use independently.

PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder): Myths, Misdiagnoses, and Treatments

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe case of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which affects women both physically and psychologically. A study by Schoep et al. that was conducted in 2019 on more than 30,000 women in the Netherlands, found that 81% of them reported reduced work productivity due to menstruation-related symptoms for an average of 23 days per year. With such a huge impact, it is surprising how little PMDD is talked about. As with many (mental) health issues, the severity of PMDD falls on a spectrum. From no symptoms at all to the most severe forms of PMDD, almost all women are affected at some point in their lives. While clinically diagnosable PMDD is estimated to affect approximately 1.8 to 5.8% of women (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), as many as 18% of women are believed to suffer with subclinical or subthreshold PMDD (Wittchen, Becker, Lieb, & Krause, 2002).
